Scrooge

I am sorry if my previous post sounded a little 'Scrooge like'.

I am all for reducing the stress of the Christmas season by some advanced preparations....

I just won't decorate or pull out the Christmas music until Thanksgiving has passed.

I have ordered our fresh trees and have requested they don't get delivered until as close to the end of November as possible....but there are no guarantees.

I have also picked up some vintage Christmas items at the Goodwill this past month....

including a box of cards that I think I will incorporate into my decorating this year.

I am also working on a couple gifts....but I know my limits....so that list isn't very long this year.

I really won't be a "Scrooge".....once December rolls around.  :)
